Normally, production facilities have low waste water discharge levels, mostly within the range of 1,000 ppm TOC (total organic carbon). However, occasionally the installation can suffer failures or process disturbances take place. In this case, the range could very well reach a level of up to 50,000 ppm. If these go ...

Measuring the levels of TOC in the water is an important step for pharmaceutical companies to control processes that are critical to their ...

An advanced TOC-TN analyser from leading instrumentation company HACH LANGE has helped South West Water to significantly reduce downtime and maintenance costs for its Inorganic Chemistry Lab department. The lab has been using the IL 550 analyser for the past five months to analyse potable water as well as non-potable (surface water, ground water) and environmental samples such as landfill ...

A highly advanced, self-calibrating Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyser from instrumentation specialist HACH LANGE is helping Manchester Airport to effectively monitor runoff whilst drastically reducing instrument maintenance requirements. The Airport is the fourth largest in the UK and handles more than 22 million passengers a year. With flights to 225 destinations worldwide, the airport ...

In partnership with Environnement SA, a1-cbiss are pleased to announce the addition of new ambient air quality monitoring analysers to their extensive emission monitoring analysers range. The complete range of real-time gas analysers each use unique technologies and reference methods to provide the most reliable and accurate results for the common regulatory air pollutants such as nitrogen ...

Grasses growing at the bottom of our oceans lock away large quantities of ‘blue carbon’, according to a new study. The results suggest that the soil that seagrass grows on is capable of storing more carbon than soils on land and as a result of the current global decline in seagrass, vast stores of carbon may be being released into the ocean and atmosphere. Seagrass is widely ...

Two winners in Rhode Island were recognized today at EPA’s 2015 Environmental Merit Awards ceremony. The environmental leaders were among 27 recipients across New England honored for helping to improve New England’s environment. Each year EPA New England recognizes individuals and groups in the six New England states who have worked to protect or improve the region’s environment ...

QuickTOC®purity of LAR Process Analysers AG is an on-line measuring system for the detection of total organic carbon (TOC) in pharmaceutical water particularly for 'Highly Purified Water' (HPW) and 'Water for Injection' (WFI), according to USP Chapter 643 and EP 2.2.44. The TOC measuring system QuickTOC®purity was designed in cooperation with customers from the pharmaceutical industry in ...

There is much debate about the measurements used to determine a firm"s ecological impacts. Some organizations focus on the measurement of their carbon footprint and how to offset it.For example, a manager who needs to fly three employees from Canada to New Zealand for a business trip could minimize their environmental impact by buying carbon offsetting. By simply visiting a carbon offset website ...

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the TOC-L Series of analyzers for total organic carbon testing in aqueous samples. With a wide sample range from 4 μg/L to 30,000 mg/L, the TOC-L is suitable for analyzing ultra-pure to highly contaminated samples of wastewater, brine water, seawater, drinking water and pharmaceutical water. Consisting of four models, including PC-controlled and ...

Climate change is expected to cause warmer climate zones to extend, not only further north, but also higher up into mountainous regions. High mountain regions may be particularly sensitive to environmental change. A recent study reveals that a warmer climate may cause carbon stored in Alpine soils to be released. Soil was recognised as a significant carbon reservoir by the Kyoto protocol1 and ...

The U.S. Department of Energy announced today the selection of 16 projects aimed at developing advanced post-combustion technologies for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal–fired power plants. The projects, valued at $41 million over three years, are focused on reducing the energy and cost penalties associated with applying currently available carbon capture technologies to ...

The Carbon Trust and Lafarge Tarmac announced the findings of a three year study to improve the carbon efficiency of the manufacture of road materials, which has the potential to save the UK road industry £46.2m in energy costs over the next ten years. The project has lifted market barriers for the use of lower ...

The TOC analyser QuickTOCpharma reliably determines the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in the lowest measuring range up to 2000ppb. Following the requests, the FDA compliant software (CFR 21 Part 11) among other things facilitates data storage and an electronic signature. The software fully controls the analysis system. Moreover, it combines the high demands of pharmaceutical water measurements, in ...

As major contributors to environmental emissions, the waste incineration and power generation industries require both continuous and periodic emissions monitoring to ensure each plant is within Emission Limit Values (ELVs). FTIR provide to perform emissions monitoring solutions for the range of standard incineration or “combustion” gases, both inorganic species such as CO, NOx, SO2, ...

Let us introduce the QuickTOC, a proven oil-in-water analyser. Factories, refineries and the like that use oils for production or that process oils need a reliable, continuous monitoring system to prevent any leakages into the waste water. This enables them to take prompt action, preventing the loss of valuable goods and breakthroughs, as well as protecting WWTPs' biomasses. There are many ...
